"He said, 'Well, we had a staff meeting and there was universal agreement that that couldn't go on," Rutherford said."

That's the most important thing to remember. They all think alike just like all good leftists.

Shouldn't this be a matter between an advertiser and his God? Our tax dollars at work. NPR needs to be defunded.

There is not a reason in the world to be funding NPR.

It is a business and the gov't is not instituted among men to run businesses.

Defund it. Close it down.

Total idiots...

We have GOT to pull funding from NPR. It' like free 24 hour 600 stations a day advertising for liberal issues. That's fine, but I don't think taxpayers should have to PAY FOR IT, too.

Ick...

A felony criminal complaint should be filed against Beth Warren as the station manager. The County Shrieff should be called to effectuate a citizens arrest. The charge -- conspiracy to deprive a citizen of Constitutional rights, racketeering, misappropriation of public funds and probably a dozen other miscl charges.

A letter of complaint should be filed with the FCC challenging the stations license on the grounds of discrimination, censorship and malfeasence in station operations.

The Constitution clearly states that Congress (and by extension, any federal agency including the FCC and NPR) shall make no law (or rule or regulation) establishing religion OR PREVENTING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. Even a GS puke like old Beth Warren should be able to comprehend the simple language in this Constitutional Ammendment!

Preventing an advertiser from invoking the name God in their advertising is by definition, "...preventing the free exercise thereof," hence prima facie - an illegal act by a governmental, tax payer supported agency.

Sent the station a letter that this type of discrimination is just as shameful as discriminating against someone due to their race.

I also stated that I would be writing my representatives to ask that Congress no longer provide taxpayer funding to a service that doesn't serve the entire community.

I love God unashamedly. Faith has seen me through the dark times in my life to the sunnier uplands of life. He is my light and my salvation - of whom shall I be afraid? Let NPR censor the human spirit and its love of the Perfect Father.

Aha, so unconstitutionally using taxpayers' money to fund a propaganda outlet is OK--as long as they don't mention God?

Help NPR stick to it's "morals"

: Made sure they receive none of that green paper bearing the slogan "In God We Trust."

NPR and the corp. for public broadcasting need to completely sheared of public funding. Let them stand on their own merits, if they can.

Why are my stolen tax dollars being used to fund my sworn enemy at PBS? Time for the Republicans to actually defund the left, the traitors and enemy of the Republic!

Said Rutherford: "I was a little incensed the station could run gay and lesbian coalition sponsorship spots — but I couldn't mention God in mine?"

Wake up and smell the coffee, idiot.
